This is a clean, safe and very professional center. The safe is always polite. Great education and academic program.

The best daycare since I switched my daughter there she’s always happy and healthy I will definitely recommend it to anyone I know thank you to the director Ms. Terry and her teachers miss Kristen and Kim.

Friday my daughter finished her last day of summer camp at Fort Washington and will start Kindergarten on Monday. I’m reaching out because I wanted to share with you how positive our experience at ELCA has been with our child’s Pre-k teacher, Maggie Winner, and Director Christina Sibley. We attended another center prior to ELCA and been through many directors and teachers and these two are by far some of the best there is.

Maggie’s compassion, patience, and creative way of teaching have helped my daughter thrive and be in a perfect position to go into Kindergarten. Aside from teaching, Maggie is one of the best humans I’ve ever met. She is truly one of a kind and we will be eternally grateful that we got to share a year of our life with her.

Christina has been such a consistent, reliable presence with a knack for planning and handling difficult situations. I’m sure it wasn’t easy handling all the COVID stuff and she did it seamlessly, even over the weekend. She is ALWAYS there. In our experience at other centers, sometimes the Director would be hard to track down if you really needed to speak with them. Not Christina. She’s there for early morning drop-offs and later afternoon pickups. And she responds to emails almost always on the same day. There were times when I emailed her over the weekend with something for the coming week and I’d be surprised when she responded before Monday morning. That’s unheard of. Sometimes I’ve worried about her work-life balance, she’s so available at the center. In my professional experience in the banking industry, we have a high turnover rate too due to the nature of the industry. However, when we have a stellar employee that we’d be devastated to lose, we make sure to do everything we can to make sure we retain them. Additionally, all the staff seems to genuinely like and respect her, which is a hard line to walk.

I hope you know how lucky you are to have Maggie and Christina. They made our lives so much easier and we will miss them dearly.

Last day at ELCA and the end of the summer carnival. After 3 1/2 years together, I cannot even put into words how special this place has been to us over the last few years! You worked tirelessly through a pandemic and helped keep this space the sense of normalcy our children needed. The staff has become family and we cannot thank you all enough for loving our child like one of your own, nurturing her, helping her be the best version of herself, and preparing her for her next big chapter! Our child quite frankly grew up here and we are going to miss you all so much, this is not goodbye, just see you later! Our family loves you very much! Kindergarten here we come!

I love the staff and I even love the new location! We struggled at first, but I am glad to say that they made us feel right at home.

Since my daughter started here it has been a beautiful thing. I feel so warm and safe with my daughter being in their care.

A beautiful center with a wonderful learning environment, incredible teachers, and a director who is as genuine, kind, and caring as they come… what more could a parent want for their child? My son, Connor, loves it here and I couldn’t be happier with his development!

I just wanna say ElCA Is The Best From The Director to the teachers I never once had any doubts they are family oriented and if you are thinking twice don’t think twice , you should definitely enroll your children we love them so much. Thank you for always caring about my kids.

I was so sad and terrified to send my baby girl to daycare, but it ended up being the greatest thing. As an infant, I would definitely annoy her teachers with texts throughout the day (we LOVE Ms. Alex!!), but they’d always happily respond and send pictures. My daughter loved going to “school” and would run in every day, wave/hug all of her friends, and hardly even say goodbye to us. She learned so much; I was amazed every week at all of the new things she was grasping. Truly, all of the teachers we’ve encountered have been great (I really do think they love their students), so I can’t do anything but praise them.
